a troubled period

at this point of time, i'm half way through the current work trip with the U.S. leg complete, and customer visits will begin soon. work is piling up quickly and there is no chance that i can settle stuff before the wedding in June... and there is more clarity on the uncomfortable situation here...

i had thought that it was awkward when some new people came to the Singapore office to replace some existing staff as their functions were to be migrated to another location. the transfer of knowledge and equipment took place over a year, but imagine how the outgoing staff must have felt. it was awkward when i was not directly involved... it is much worse now, with some of my colleagues leaving. 4 to be exact. and during the meetings and meals, i was very conscious about what i say. maybe too conscious... if i were closer to them, we might have been more candid. but it would not make a difference.

well, this is no time to be too affected by the current situation. less than a month away from the long await trip.
